Templates are pages on the Wiki which are designed to be included in other pages. They are normally used for repetitive material (such as text and information boxes, icons, or standard messages). Using templates not only saves having to copy parts of pages to other pages, but they ensure a consistent style throughout the Wiki.
Creating and editing templates
Anyone can create or edit templates; it works just like editing pages! More advanced templates can take advantage of some programming capabilities, which can look daunting at first glance. Fortunately, Wikipedia has an excellent page on getting started with templates, which covers both basic and advanced templates.
